Healthcare and Taxes

The Affordable Care Act has had an impact on millions of Americans, not just in providing healthcare, but also as part of their tax landscape. As the relationship between healthcare and taxes changes, we will be adding to this page as news and laws are updated. For now, here are some links to resources and please be sure to check out our periodic blogs on this topic.

COVID-19 Related News and Updates

Check here for the most recent updates we have gathered regarding the impact of COVID-19 and taxes, personal finance and planning.

We are also going to be providing – and updating – links to get you the most up-to-date information on changes.

Regarding the PPP (Paycheck Protection Program), please note:

Because we are not “authorized agents” for purposes of completing loan applications, we are not able to complete the actual loan applications for our clients. At this point, there is limited and unclear guidance available for the loan process. We will do our best to provide information and/or documentation requested by the lenders that we have access to as your bookkeepers/accountants and/or tax preparers, but we are unable to assist with the actual loan application or loan amount requests. There are severe penalties for misrepresentation. These documents must be signed under penalty of perjury and we take that responsibility very seriously.
